It’s not working. I tried it with the Rise of Skywalker soundtrack but couldn’t get it to sync up, so I tried use a bit of audio from The Last Jedi and then that same bit of audio (2:00:01 - 2:05:46) from the score-only version of the movie. That also didn’t work, I think because the sound is mixed differently so the music is at different amplitudes in the movie?

If you do keep the line, it might help clarify if the captions put “conjured” in quotes.

The method you suggested in the original post - using an identical recording of the music and inverting it to get rid of the music - could that theoretically be done with The Rise of Skywalker’s Awards soundtrack, since it contains the music used in the final cut of the film?

The Force can’t allow people to detect blood relationships. Vader found out Luke had a sister by reading Luke’s mind, and Leia found out Rey was a Palpatine because Maz figured it out and told her.

Does anyone have a downloadable version of the version of the TROS Ahch-To sequence that was modified to take place at night?

I mean, he’s arguably the most literally-a-professional person here…

Replace all of the soundtrack with Spongebob music.

I’d kill for duel of the fates with grass skirt chase

This will begin to make things right.

Maybe he doesn’t roar at all; maybe he does an Anakin Skywalker impression to scare them off.

I feel like the clothes would be a lot harder than faces, though. I’m not pretending to have any idea how deepfaking works, but the fact that there are plenty of videos on Youtube successfully replacing people’s faces and not people’s outfits makes me feel like clothes would be harder to change with current technology.

Also, a lot of the visual spectacle gets lost in compression because of the constant particle effects.

Is there any way around Finn trying to desert the Resistance in TLJ? I still want him to meet Rose.

Off the top of my head, I think it would be possible to make it sound like he’s exclusively trying to find and warn Rey, not actually leave permanently himself. But then his character arc over the movie wouldn’t have a clear starting point.

I actually had an idea a while ago that could be used to supplement that: Make it more about Rose’s journey. Basically, remove most of the instances of her optimistic theme music, have something more sinister play when she’s talking about how she hates Canto Bight, and remove the part where she releases the last Fathier and says “now it’s worth it.” Then when she talks about “not fighting what we hate” it would be like she’s only just figured it out. Although I’m not sure if that would quite work with the way she’s played.

This is really interesting, can I get a link as well?

Oof.

I was thinking about how Krausfadr said that hopefully people would continue looking at ways to move Palpatine’s reveal to later in the movie, and I just thought of something: What if it were moved to the midpoint, right after Rey escapes the Star Destroyer? It would go something like:

• Kylo feels he’s failed at getting Rey to team up with him against Palpatine
• Kylo goes to Exegol to try and kill Palpatine by himself
• Palpatine reveals he’s dying (someone already altered that scene to have him say “I don’t have long”) and offers to make Kylo the new Emperor
• Kylo is told to kill Rey
• The next time we see him he’s on Endor, seemingly ready to do just that (we’d need to remove some dialogue, but that shouldn’t be hard because a lot of what he says in that scene is spoken off-screen anyway).

Why wouldn’t Palpatine want to do the spirit ritual with Ben if he’s dying?

Presumably because he isn’t sure Ben is strong enough to be the new host, so he wants him to kill Rey to make sure. I kind of assumed that’s what was happening from the beginning (Darth Sidious is no stranger to the “pit your potential successors against each other and whoever survives is more worthy” plot).

I guess I was imagining opening the movie more in line with the book - intercutting Rey’s training with Kylo’s fight on Mustafar - but then ending with him finding the wayfinder, implying that he went to Exegol off-screen. I guess that would be pretty hard to communicate, though.

For my money, use the Lupin III Theme. Also, to keep with that series’ style, make sure to reprise that theme during an action scene at least once per episode.

Re-dub all of Threepio’s lines with an AI trained to imitate Youtuber Scott The Woz.

I did a quick-and-dirty screenshot comparison between the 720p Disney+ version with the DVD of Clone Wars.

https://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/16669/picture:0

Not drastic but there is a difference.

This is really interesting… you actually see slightly more of the picture in the Disney+ Version.

Here’s a weird question: If Omega was involved in the creation of the Bad Batch, and Boba (who was 10 in AOTC) was the first clone, and the war lasted 3 years, and regs age at 2x normal speed, and the fighting age for clones is 20, does that mean that Omega was already working in a lab at age 3, or that the Bad Batchers age even faster than other clones, or that their DNA was still being altered after they were born?

Replace every single line in the saga with “I have a bad feeling about this.”

Replace every line with “I have a x feeling about this,” where x is a single keyword from the original sentence.

“I’ve got a REEEEEYYYYYYY feeling about this…”

“I’ve got a seduced feeling about this…”

Retitle the Rise of Skywalker to “Out of the Unknown Regions” so that the sequel trilogy’s titles form a full sentence.

I like the idea of moving the scene of Threepio not remembering Artoo to earlier, having it end on a more ambiguous note, and then moving the actual memory restoration to later.

Perhaps there should be a dedicated thread for edits that only change the filmmaking, rather than the story itself?

Any time a character in fiction has a sword made of some unknown and/or extraterrestrial material, I choose to believe it’s actually Beskar.
